Seize the day? Yes! Buy this book ? No!, Oct. 27 2001
Par Un client
It took me longer to read this boring novella than it did to complete "Gone With the Wind!" I know, I know, Bellow is a Nobel prize winner, but just because his work has merit doesn't make me like this tedious book any better. This book is for you if the thought of endless talk about the price of soybeans and lard on the stock market, spoken by essentially dull characters, makes your heart beat faster and your pulse start racing. Thankfully, this book was not my introduction to Bellow; I started with his first two novels, "Dangling Man," and "The Victim," and I liked them. Then I read "Herzog" and "Mr. Sammler's Planet" and I LOVED them. I will never give up on this author -- he's a masterful writer, and his "The Adventures of Augie March" and "Humboldt's Gift" are waiting for me on my bookshelf. (Books are so patient.) But "Seize" was definitely a disappointing dud.

My Book Review, Mai 7 2001
In my opinion, this book is pretty boring. However the moral of the book is really good. As the reader learns one mans struggles in the world and how he trys to overcome them. But in the end... Read the book!!

Not as good as it looks., Oct. 1 2000
While I was looking for a book to read over the summer, I found a small-size novel with catchy title SEIZE THE DAY. Moreover,the author of the book, as I found out, was the winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. All excited and willing to read, I lay down on the beach and grabbed my book. However, after reading few pages I realized that this short novel was definitely not what I 'd expected it to be. It was the most boring book I have ever read. Nothing, but nothing really happened throughout it. Instead of action, there were pages of precise descrioptions of places, people, things and not many dialoges, which I like so much. SEIZE THE DAY, a story of a man, who is complete, miserable loser in life, who constantly repeats his mistakes and doesn't really try to change his life, didn't entertain me at all. After finishing the book, I was bored and tired of hearing of his continuous problems caused by himself. So, if you are looking for entertaining and interesting book with action, as I did, SEIZE THE DAY is not for you.

Dull, with a huge D., Fév 16 2000
This is a novel about boring things happening to boring people. The most boring hour of my day has more life in it than this novel. It's sad because i love the Adventures of Augie March (see my famous review); but unlike that book, the main character remains flat throughout, and nothing but nothing happens! I am getting bored even writing this review about it. Prescription: Lots of Nabokov.

It was BORING, Janv. 28 2000
This had to have been the dullest book I have ever read. I waited through out the whole novel for something to happen! All it consisted of was some man leading a boring life. Yeah I know it was called SEIZE THE DAY but really, do we need to be put through the agony of hearing of someone else's continuous problems that were all self inflicted?
